人工林碳汇潜力新概念及应用

定量确定森林碳汇潜力有助于科学地评估森林对碳汇的潜在贡献及制定实现这种潜力所需要的经营管理措施。目前,国内外有关森林碳汇潜力缺乏统一的概念及计量方法。在综述国内外有关固碳潜力概念的基础上,引入时间动态构架和可持续性的概念,提出了针对人工林的固碳潜力概念并利用FORECAST模型以杉木人工林为例阐明此概念的实际意义与应用。

The concept and application of carbon sequestration potentials in plantation forests

Quantifying the potentials of forest carbon sequestration can scientifically help evaluate the maximum carbon sequestration capacity and design sustainable forest management strategies for achieving its potentials in mitigating climate change impacts. At present, there have been no commonly-accepted concepts and associated quantification methods for defining forest carbon sequestration potentials. In this paper, we first provided a brief literature review on the concepts of carbon sequestration potentials, and then introduced our new concept for defining carbon sequestration potentials in the context of sustainable management of plantation forests. Chinese fir plantation was used as an example to illustrate the proposed concept as well as the way of quantifying forest carbon sequestration potentials by applying the forest ecosystem model FORECAST.
